    Where were u when some1 favored Mike McCallum 2 TKO him and another 1 chose him 2 beat him ?
    Most here also take Ezzard Charles 4 granted as a better fighter , but it's just like saying that Charles was a better heavy than Louis or 2 say that Rocco was a superior heavy 2 Louis because they beat him .
